Samples should be a pooled sample over a couple of days, refrigerated between sampling. As many parasites are shed intermittently.

Finally got it now, gave Clive's samples to vet - it is £113 in fact for the test and takes 10 daysthey also charged me to fill in Insurance Claim form £8 ! anyone else pays to fill in insurance claim form ?

Just wanted to let you guys know zoologix is legit, my cat also did have TF.

Treated with the standard Ronidazole 30mg/kg per day, and the symptoms cleared up halfway through and I treated my other cat as well even though he probably didn't have it given their limited exposure. They have since been separated much to their (and my) dismay.

Unfortunately symptoms all returned quite quickly after being off the Ronidazole. Diarrhea after about 3 days, blood after a week, mucous strands, shiny Vaseline look, and rotten egg smell at about 9 days. Didn't bother to retest as it seemed pretty clearcut to me.

Giving a second round a try at the old recommended twice a day dosage and keeping a careful eye on the kitten. Seems to be tolerating it fine so far.

Symptoms cleared up this time in 48 hours (quicker than the first round so that's a good sign). Hopefully they stay gone this time as splitting my house (which is mostly open) in half is a real chore and I'm growing fairly frustrated.

We'll see how it goes. I see a lot of conflicting information about multiple treatments and increasing dosage working or not working, but I have to try something having another healthy cat in the house.

Well mine certainly is seeming to respond better faster to the second course of Ronidazole. I'm remaining optimistic that that's a good sign.

I know how you feel though, it's driving me crazy to keep them separate I have to have boxes in the rooms with hard wood. The litter is already tracked everywhere a day after I've vacuumed. Food bits everywhere since the food bowls are in two different areas. Water everywhere because they both like to play with their water bowls. They are both driving me nuts from being separated.

But I feel this dose is gonna work probably.If not, I don't know what I'll do because I don't think upping the dose again is an option.

Fingers crossed for you. Keep us informed on how it's going.
